Where a respondent has failed to comply with a court order and offers no rare or compelling excuse, the court may, under Order 45 r6, grant a further opportunity to comply; absent a demonstrated reason to excuse performance the respondent must comply. In this case non-compliance was proved and no excuse was advanced, but because the Court of Appeal has since granted leave and a stay pending appeal the proper course was to adjourn the summons pending the appeal with costs reserved.
